Western Union: Consumer Services Break Out as Travel Money and Bill Pay Reshape the Growth Mix!
Western Union, a global leader in cross-border and cross-currency money movement, reported its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2025 and provided an outlook for 2026. The company is in the midst of a transformational strategy, focusing on becoming a digital-first, retail-enabled consumer services company. This strategy aims to balance the traditional core business with innovative digital solutions, leveraging its global footprint and brand recognition. In the fourth quarter of 2025, Western Union reported a revenue of $1 billion, which represented a 5% decline from the previous year. The consumer money transfer transactions fell by 2.5%, but there was a noted increase in cross-border principal growth on a constant currency basis. These figures highlight the challenges faced by Western Union amidst tough macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical headwinds, especially in the Americas. The company did, however, deliver an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.45, up from $0.
